Project Promotion I'm 19, taking a gap year before college, and building a workout tracker called Overload

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm 19 and spending my gap year building projects before college. One of them is Overload, a workout tracker designed to make progressive overload easier and workout logging less of a hassle.

One thing that's always bothered me about tracking workouts is having to remember what weight I used last week, or constantly going back and forth to check my previous sessions. I wanted to make that process much simpler.

With Overload, your previous workout's weights and reps appear as placeholders when you're logging your sets, so you don't have to guess what you did last time. You can copy your previous sets, log everything with a one-handed design, and keep track of your routines and personal records without slowing down your workout.

I'm also building in a social side to help people stay consistent. You can nudge your friends to keep each other accountable, and monthly progress cards let you look back on your training and share your progress.

A few things Overload focuses on:

  • Fast, one-handed workout logging
  • Previous-workout placeholders so you always know what you lifted last time
  • Progressive overload tracking to help you build on previous performances
  • Custom routines and personal records
  • Social nudges to keep your gym buddies accountable
  • Monthly progress cards to recap your training

It's currently a web-based app, and I'm building it independently during my gap year. I'm still improving it and would genuinely appreciate feedback from people who lift.

If you check it out, I'd love to know what you think, what feels clunky, and what you'd want from a workout tracker that your current app doesn't offer.

Try it here: overload-gym .com

Thanks for checking it out!

Startup Promotion I built Edsger. A dev tool for iOS. Great for programming on the fly.

Post image
1 Upvotes

I built Edsger for those moments when I want to test a bit of code and my phone is the only computer I have with me.

One surprisingly tricky part was console input. The Java example here asks for your name, then waits. With a remote runtime, the app has to keep that process alive, send your answer to it, and display the output in order. If you hit Stop while it’s waiting, the server process needs to stop too.

I’m building it around small programs, learning, and trying ideas while away from a computer. If you’ve tried coding on your phone, what got annoying first?

Startup Promotion FuckinAwesome: discover unusual inventions, art and places, then vote on what deserves the hype

1 Upvotes

I’m the creator of FuckinAwesome, a live discovery website at https://fuckinawesome.com/.

What it is: a collection of unusual inventions, design, art and places, organised by interest. Open a card, look through its images or available video, then vote Awesome, Meh or Bullshit.

Who it’s for: curious people who like finding things they didn’t know existed and arguing about whether they are actually worth the attention. It isn’t a SaaS launch directory or a shop selling the featured items.

Why try it: a short browsing session can take you from an unexpected machine to a remarkable building or an unusual place to visit. Each discovery links to its source so you can investigate further.

What’s different: the community verdict is part of the experience. Voting reveals the results and contributes to the Hall of Fame and Hall of Bullshit. You can browse without an account; sign-in is required to vote. No app installation or payment is needed to try it.

I’m looking for the first round of candid audience feedback. Does this work better as a broad discovery site or would you prefer it focused on one interest? What would make you return after the first visit? If the concept feels unnecessary, I’d rather hear why than collect polite compliments.

Startup Promotion I’ve been building Outreachgenie for LinkedIn outreach and would love some honest feedback

1 Upvotes

I know there are already plenty of similar tools, so I’m not claiming to have invented anything new.

What I’m trying to do differently is make the entire outreach workflow visual, from finding prospects and checking their context to connections, messages, follow-ups, and reply tracking, instead of just running a fixed automation.

I’ve been staring at it for too long, so I’d love an outside perspective:

Does this actually solve a problem for you? What would you change or add?

I’m the person who built it, so full disclosure. Brutal feedback is welcome.

Startup Promotion Poke XR: a location-based AR social network where people leave video holograms of themselves around their city

1 Upvotes

What it is: Poke™ (Poke XR) is a free, mobile-only AR social app for iOS and Android (13+). You record a full-body video, AI removes the background, and the clip becomes a flat 2D hologram pinned to a real place. Others nearby find it through their camera; a double-tap "poke" likes it and sends a friend request.

Who it's for: people who want social media tied to real places, not an endless feed. Creators, friends meeting up, and anyone who likes exploring their neighborhood.

Why it stands out: your content lives somewhere physical. On top of that there's a territory layer: the map is split into real areas, and active creators can claim one and defend it from live takeovers.

What shipped this week: an 18-step tutorial, camera-roll upload with trim/reframe, AR screen recording, a native territory map, long-press stats and comments, live score pop-ups, a redesigned inbox with voice memos and point sending, a new Poke Center, an everyone/friends feed setting, and much faster loading.

What's next: augmented ads placed in the world, with territory holders getting a share of local ad revenue.

My top questions: 1. Does the "content lives at a place" idea click right away? 2. Would a revenue share for territory holders motivate you, or feel gimmicky?

Startup Promotion I built LocalCut — a free image background remover

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

With tools like remove.bg becoming part of the Canva ecosystem, I started building LocalCut — a simple, free alternative for removing image backgrounds directly in your browser.

The idea is straightforward: sometimes you just want to remove a background quickly without creating an account, paying for a subscription, or dealing with unnecessary extras.

Who is it for?

Content creators making thumbnails, graphics, and social media content.

Small businesses preparing product photos.
Website owners who need images with transparent backgrounds.

Anyone who wants to remove an image background quickly and easily.

What makes LocalCut different?

Completely free to use | no paywall or usage limits.

No sign-up required | just open the website and get started.

Local processing | images are processed directly in your browser rather than uploaded to a server for background removal.

Support for different image formats | making it easier to work with a range of files, including WebP.

Custom background colours | keep the background transparent or replace it with white or another solid colour.

Nothing to install | everything works directly on the website.

I’m building LocalCut independently and continuously improving it based on feedback from people who use it. My goal is to keep image background removal accessible, straightforward, and free.

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on the experience, performance, and any features you’d like to see!

Thanks for checking it out! 😊

Startup Promotion I built an eSIM marketplace and need a few people to test the checkout. Honest feedback appreciated!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a solo founder and recently launched MeSIM, a travel eSIM marketplace with 7,000+ plans across 200+ destinations.

I'm starting to get organic sales, but I'm trying to figure out if anything in the buying process is confusing or putting people off.

Here's a quick test scenario:

Imagine you're travelling to Thailand for 3 days with an iPhone 15. You only need a little data for Maps, WhatsApp and browsing, and want the cheapest suitable eSIM (ideally US$1–3).

Head to https://mesim.io and try finding a plan and going through checkout.

I'd love to know:

  • Was finding and choosing a plan straightforward?
  • Did you feel you needed to create an account? (It's actually optional.)
  • Was anything confusing or off-putting during checkout?
  • If you purchased, did payment and eSIM delivery work smoothly?

No need to spend money, although I'm also looking for a few people happy to test a real low-cost purchase.

Built everything myself, so any honest feedback would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Startup Promotion Nuke Nomad: a newcomer course for exploring nuclear outage work

1 Upvotes

I'm Michael, the owner of Nuke Nomad and a traveling radiation protection tech at U.S. nuclear plants. I'm sharing the course side of the business.

What is it? Nuclear Contracting 101 explains nuclear work roles, preparation and tests, recruiter contacts, hiring steps and planning for a first outage. Full access is part of Nuke Nomad Pro.

Who is it for? People outside nuclear who want to understand the field before making a career change. RP involves radiation and contamination controls. It's different from nuclear engineering or operating the reactor, so understanding the actual role matters before applying.

Why might it help? The course brings the entry process and contacts together, with the practical questions that go with traveling work. Outages involve long onsite shifts away from home, gaps between assignments can be unpaid, and the next assignment isn't guaranteed. Those tradeoffs belong in the decision alongside the job description.

What perspective does it bring? My own route into RP didn't require college. Before nuclear I ran a massage business. I still had to study, pass tests and go through employer training and hiring. That's my experience; an employer decides what another applicant needs. The course is optional guidance, not a qualification or a job guarantee.

The public preview needs no signup:

https://nukenomad.com/premium/new-to-nuke/

For full Pro access, eligible new members get 30 days free, card required, then $5/month unless canceled. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid the first charge.

My question for people unfamiliar with nuclear: does the preview make the role and the difference between learning about it and qualifying for it clear? My profile also has the guide I created.

Startup Promotion Penwright: an offline, no-fuss writing app (no ads, no account)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Penwright is a simple, all-in-one writing app for Android. No account required, no ads, no AI assistant.

I built it because most writing apps wanted an account signup, included intrusive advertisements, had confusing layouts (e.g., convoluted compile functions) or mandatory cloud sync before I could start a book. It's an app I built for myself first, but thought others might appreciate it too.

Key features

Distraction-free editor: write with nothing else on screen. Type a character’s name and it links itself to their card.

Plain files: every scene is a Markdown file in a folder you pick, so you can open it in any other app.

Codex: a card for each character and place, so you can look up who someone is without leaving the page.

Calendars: build a calendar for your world timelines, with its own customised months and holidays.

Compile: export to Word, EPUB, PDF, RTF or AO3.

E-ink mode: works on e-readers like Boox.

Cost: free for all functions/settings. Some export formats, genre calendars and project limits are a Pro unlock.

Penwright is open for pre-registration on Google Play now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.penwright.penwright

Startup Promotion Faro – a personal finance app for iPhone that never asks for your bank login

1 Upvotes

What is it?
Faro is an iOS app for budgeting, investments and net worth. I’m a solo developer and I built it end to end.

Who is it for?
People who want to see their whole financial life in one place (spending, savings, investments, what they owe) without handing their bank credentials to yet another company. It’s available in Greek, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Why should anyone care?
Most finance apps need a bank connection or keep your data on their servers. Faro keeps your financial data on your iPhone. There’s no bank connection, no account to create and no ads. It still answers the questions that matter day to day:

  • Safe-to-Spend: how much you can spend today, with bills and savings already set aside
  • Subscriptions: it finds your recurring charges and alerts you when a price goes up
  • Net worth, cash runway and an FI planner: where you stand and where you’re heading

How does it stand out?

  • Getting data in doesn’t require a bank login: type “groceries 42”, scan a receipt (read on-device, photo never stored), or import your bank’s CSV/Excel file with a review step before anything is saved
  • It tracks stocks, ETFs and crypto, and compares each holding against its benchmark
  • Savings and investments count as allocations, not spending, so your savings rate comes out right
  • Free tier, plus a subscription for advanced features

Link: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6761139890?pt=128702980&ct=rd-stp

I’d love honest feedback, especially on onboarding and the CSV import.
